Great Things Come in Threes
Three vibrant art scenes that help to spark creativity and economic growth in Newtown.
Main Street
Over 300 years of creative activity in Newtown.
Walk streets that have inspired artists and creatives for over 300 years. From the iconic Edmond Town Hall to the galleries and makers that line our historic corridor, Main Street is where Newtown's identity was shaped — and where it continues to evolve.
Sandy Hook
Where industry, commerce, and community collide.
In Sandy Hook Village, creativity isn't just on display, it's woven into the neighborhood itself. Explore a close-knit community where local makers, artists, and independent businesses thrive with genuine energy that can't be manufactured.
Fairfield Hills
Reinvention, imagination, and continuous innovation.
The expansive Fairfield Hills campus is where Newtown's creative future unfolds. Home to the annual Arts Festival, the Municipal Gallery, and a growing calendar of cultural events, it's where imagination, reinvention, and community all come together.
